"Sarah was amazing! She is a true artist. Not only did she do a perfect job, she helped me figure out how much wallpaper I needed and what type to get. She is a pro for sure and I'm going to hire her again to do my dining room wall."

"We had a wonderful experience using J.A. Wallcovering to install peel and stick wallpaper for our nursery. They scheduled us within a week of us reaching out, were professional, and completed the job very quickly. We had an issue installing peel and stick wallpaper after someone else we originally hired could not complete the job."

"The crew and owner showed up on the scheduled Monday and we went over the details for the exterior painting or our house. Then the house was power washed and trenches were dug and patching of the stucco completed. It was a cool day, so they worked till noon then left to let the patching dry. Tuesday the crew showed up on time again, sanded and began the painting of the stucco. There was a discrepancy on the type of paint for the job, so we contacted Marty (the owner) and he took back the paint and got the better paint recommended by the paint store for out west-facing house. Wed and Thurs...sanding and painting trim. Friday, I went over our "punch list" with Marty and the crew and they finished up the out-buildings, patio cover, large sliding door, touch up spots and our front door...which needed four coats of paint. The crew left at noon after cleaning and sweeping and Marty came in the afternoon (per our request) to go over the job and receive payment. Excellent job! We have already handed out all the business cards to neighbors who stopped by to admire the work!

"Sanchez Painting did some work for us a couple of years ago. We liked their work back then and made a point of keeping their information in case we needed them in the future. Now that we are anticipating selling our house, we called them to paint the exterior of the home. From that first call to completion of the job, they were responsive, on time, and professional. I like that they trenched around the house and painted it below the dirt. The house looks great. They didn't skip corners and did exactly what they said they would."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

Removing a wallpaper border requires the same process to remove full walls of wallpaper. Clear the area, spray down the surface with your hot water and vinegar solution or store-bought spray, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then scrape it off with a putty knife. Sometimes, border wallpaper lifts easier than larger sheets, so you can just peel it right off the wall by hand.

While you can remove wallpaper yourself, it is a labor-intensive process that risks damaging your walls. Common DIY methods include using a steamer to loosen the adhesive or spraying the paper with a solution of hot water and vinegar or dish soap before scraping. However, steamers can cause irreparable damage if used incorrectly, and the spray-and-scrape method can harm drywall if it gets too wet or you scrape too aggressively. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often the fastest, easiest, and safest option. A pro has the experience and specialized tools to remove wallpaper efficiently without damaging the underlying surface, which saves time and minimizes the prep work needed for your next wall treatment.

Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should hire a local wallpaper removal service to prep the surface properly. Wallpaper removal pros cost $0.55 to $1.50 per square foot or $500 to $700 per room. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.

Using a fabric softener solution is a popular and low-cost DIY method for removing wallpaper, but its effectiveness is limited. While it may work on some types of wallpaper, it is unlikely to be successful on vintage styles, and there is no evidence that it is more effective than other removal methods. There are also several potential downsides: the solution can leave behind a residue that may damage your walls or interfere with the adhesion of new wallpaper. Additionally, this method can create a strong, overpowering aroma that takes a long time to dissipate, making it a poor choice for homeowners sensitive to smells.

The simple nature of peel and stick wallpaper means it should come off much more easily than traditional wallpaper that is glued to your walls. You’ll still want to work slowly and carefully to avoid tearing it, but most peel and stick wallpaper should come off without a chemical agent to loosen it.
